There is a distinct difference between how irc channels and public mailing lists are used.
For a simple example contrast the personal content/water cooler talk that makes it's way into burnt electrons and whether or not users infuse that degree of interpersonal communication into mailing lists. Air Mozilla and public meetings are not usually used to publish one on one interactions, or even small team banter. In addition, the scope of the meetings and sessions recorded are generally time-boxed sessions that dominate engaged users attention, so there is far less likelihood of inadvertently capturing a personal moment that would otherwise be ephemeral.
